SMM Primary Lead Smelter Weekly Operating Rate (February 22, 2025 - February 28, 2025) [SMM Primary Lead Weekly Review]
This week (February 22, 2025 - February 28, 2025), primary lead smelters primarily focused on resuming and increasing production. The operating rate of primary lead in the three provinces increased by 4.23 percentage points WoW to 60.28%.
In Henan Province, one smelter reduced production for one day this week due to equipment failure, while another small-scale smelter marginally increased production after resuming operations last week. The operating rate in Henan Province rebounded WoW. In Hunan Province, smelters continued to restore supply this week, with medium- and large-scale smelters that had undergone maintenance gradually resuming normal production by the end of February. In Yunnan Province, smelters that had previously halted production for maintenance resumed and maintained stable production, with the operating rate remaining flat WoW. Outside the surveyed samples of the three provinces, a smelter in Anhui Province experienced a decline in production this week due to fluctuations in raw material grade, while other smelters maintained stable production.
